Aer Preps Debut LP “The Bright Side”

Following the triumphant success of their What You Need EP, which rose to #1 on the iTunes Hip-Hop Charts (and #10 overall), Aer (David von Mering & Carter Schultz) return with their full length debut effort, The Bright Side, which will be released on 7-30-2012.

In May, 2010 the Boston, MAalternative hip-hop duo burst onto the scene with their first mixtape release, The Reach, which has amassed over 90,000 downloads, propelling them into the speakers and headphones of fans across the world.

The Bright Sideis driven by the projects lead singles “Floats My Boat” and “Like the Way” and is produced entirely by David von Mering of Aer. The Bright Side “embodies everything that we want our fans to know about us. It’s real, organic, straight up, no behind the curtain music,” says Carter of Aer. With a seamless combination of hip-hop, pop, and alternative music that has warm summer vibes, this album is true to Aer’s sound. David continues about the summer feel by explaining “if you enjoy a slight breeze over your naked body, you’ll love ‘The Bright Side!’

The Bright Sideproject has been in production since January and has been worked on for several years now and David and Carter are excited to have you give it a listen and let you know, “FAMily first.”

Aer is currently on a 34-city nationwide summer tour, after playing Bamboozle in May where they had the opportunity to share the stage with artists like Action Bronson, ASAP Rocky, and Iggy Azalea. In addition to these artists, Aer has performed with the likes of Mac Miller, Shwayze and Cisco Adler, Hoodie Allen, Ballyhoo!, and Cris Cab.

With previous sold out shows at Gramercy Theatre in NYC and Middle East Downstairs in Boston, Aer are playing album release shows at Irving Plaza in NYC (August 4th) and their hometown of Boston at Paradise Rock Club (August 11th) to celebrate The Bright Side’s release.
